HC Deb 17 March 1965 vol 708 cc282-3W
76. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Transport how many accidents involving badly loaded vehicles have occurred due to goods falling from vehicles; and how many prosecutions have resulted since the present regulations were introduced in 1963.

Mr. Torn Fraser

The national road accident statistics do not provide the information sought in the first part of my hon. Friend's Question. In 1963—the latest period for which figures are at present available—there were 5,241 prosecutions for using vehicles when dangerously loaded.
